For C   # , the slopes are:9=3 tive , and hence the solutions increase. For C   #, the slopes are negative , and hence the solutions decrease. All solutions diverge away from the equilibrium solution C >a b œ  #.

  1. For all solutions to approach the equilibrium solution C >a b œ #Î$, we must have C w^ ! for C  #Î$ , and C w! for C  #Î$. The required rates are satisfied by the differential equation C wœ #  $C.

  2. For solutions other than C >a b œ # to diverge from C œ # , C >a bmust be an increasing function for C  # , and a decreasing function for C  #. The simplest differential equation whose solutions satisfy these criteria is C wœ C  #.

  3. For solutions other than C >a b œ "Î$ to diverge from C œ "Î$ , we must haveC w! for C  "Î$ , and C w! for C  "Î$. The required rates are satisfied by the differential equation C wœ $C  ".
